Urges hit-and-run driver to turn self in to police To the editor:

April 12, 2013

Dear Driver, You know the stop sign that you ran Saturday night at Old 322 and Church Lane? Well in that car that you hit was a 12-year-old young man. Do you know how bad his injuries were? Do you know if he is in the hospital? Do you know what trauma you caused his family? No you do not know the answers to any of these questions.

The reason you do not know is because you allowed your friends to convince you to leave the scene of the accident you caused because you had been drinking and the police were on their way. I know that you were driving a silver or gray car. I know that you were definitely intoxicated and I know that you do not care. All because you chose to drink and drive. You have no idea the trauma and anxiety you have caused a family in a single moment.

If you are any kind of person you would contact the local police and tell them that you are the person involved in the hit and run on Saturday evening, April 6, where Church Lane intersects Old Route 322. You cannot be charged with the DUI you were trying to avoid but you can at least make amends for the damage you have caused to one family.
